I am trying to condense my accessories and was wondering if a .308 rifle bore snake will work in a .357 magnum and 9mm pistol?

I own a .308 and 9mm. The snake works great in both but I don't own a .357. Hope this helps

Size-wise, it would. Diameter is pretty close. But the length of the rifle snake might present some difficulties in a revolver. It's just a little more cramped dragging that extra 30 inches or so through the barrel and past the frame.

I'm not sure if the Lee Load Master can handle magnum rifle cases, I do know it can load 45 cal. to .223 & .300 Blackout also 44 magnum pistol rounds. I believe it can but not 100% sure on this. You might want to contact Lee Pecision directly and ask them if the Load Master can. Lee has a 50 cal. single stage loader for that caliber, but alas the largest cal. I ever own was a 270 magnum bolt action Sear's rifle and I sold it cause I didn't have a real uses for it. Good luck in your quest for magnum rifle loading..

Yes. It is designed for .38 Special (and +P), and .357 Magnum cartridges. They are exactly the same cartridge save for the .357 Mag being 1/8th Inch longer to prevent use in .38 SPC length cylinders. I use mine for .357 Mag, and .38 SPC with my Chiappa Rhino.

Yes... Attached is from Lee's website, reference the .38 Sp die set... Note: you may use the 38 Special die set to reload for the 357 Mag. You would have to back out the Powder Thru Expander Die, and the Bullet Seating and Crimping Die about 2 turns to compensate for the longer 357 case.

Nope. This is a great pad but won't work with the PRS, which is a shame because the PRS really needs better padding when using it with 308.

I put 2 drops of case lube in a large Tupperware bowel. I add 150-200 9mm case's and mix by hand until they feel even. Less oil is better than too much. As for a .308 round. Isn't that a rifle round? Might be a bit tall. Not sure. .380 dies will work.

They're pretty precise fits for each caliber...and I have several. I'm sure you could you can use the same "Snakes" for 9mm/38Sp; 45ACP/45Colt/460S&W; 40S&W;/10mm; etc. Good product...and quick.

Yes you just need the dies for each of those calibers. I'll warn you though, with rifle calibers, you use a little more force on the full length resizing. I've only used this hand press for pistol rounds (9mm and 357 mag). I'm sure it will still work for rifle calibers, it just may require more force to resize rifle brass. (FYI I reload 30-06 on my single stage Lee Challenger - also a great press).

You would buy the .22 R caliber. 5.7x28 is very similar in size to the NATO 5.56 round which would also use the .22LR bore snake.

Yes u can. U can check wiki to see dimensions. Neck will resize to .308 and then trim the mouth down and u can have .308!

I have only used on a Thompson Contender pistol with 357 Mag, 10MM and 45 Super barrels. The one on the 10MM seemed to have a problem by the internal mirror would come loose. I'd suggest you contact BSA and other Red-Dot makers and get feed back. From what I heard air guns have different dynamics than rifles & pistols and you may have unknown dynamics with a bow. As a word of warning, I had problems with a replacement from BSA and had to return a new replacement, rec'd an incomplete replacement and ended up having to pay shipping twice.

No and yes. The bore snakes have brass brushes that are caliber specific You can run a 9mm through a .45 bore but it would do a poor job.

both works just fine. but don't put it on anything more kicky than a Mosin. .308 will work perfectly.

I have mine on a Savage model 10 chambered in .308 and it has done very well. It has held zero through hundreds of rounds.

The Snake bore cleaner does not replace the Rod and brass brushes for cleaning your gun. It is for when you are out shooting, (many rounds) that it is a easy and fast way to keep your guns clean and shooting good. I would not use a electric drill with the rods to clean a gun. It should only take a few times down the barrel to clean the bore. Be careful you could damage the bore using a drill less control.

I have a 5.56 AR and they work great. I use the snakes on all my guns. very quick and easy to clean with. If you get the right snake you will be happy with the way it cleans and oils all at one pull of it. The kit listed has everything you need to clean with and works well. Hope this helps.

The .308 laser should work. All of the dimensions of a 7.62x54R are just a few thousandths larger than the .308 win anyway with the important exception of the neck. Putting the calipers on my 243win/308/7mm-08 laser shows that the the shoulder (there is no neck) is 0.450" which should give you 0.007" of play. The laser should also be about .22" longer than where your bolt face typically sits. So grabbing it shouldn't be a problem, but you will not be able to close your bolt. Then again, I don't advise closing the bolt with these things in the chamber anyway.
